I was pretty skeptical at first, but to my surprise, fetching metadata from Audible turned out to be genuinely useful.

I’ve just submitted AudioBo 1.2.3, which includes this feature along with a bunch of smaller improvements.

Little demo: pulling book metadata from public online databases.

I genuinely didn’t expect it to work this well.

And thanks to the sidecar chapters I added in the previous update, AudioBo can now apply the correct chapter markers to pretty much any audiobook rip.

Recently, a friend told me that thanks to AudioBo he managed to get through six audiobooks in just the last two months.

That honestly made me really happy to hear.

#AudioBo 1.1.9 is out.

#AudioBo 1.1.8 is out. Mostly some tiny UX tweaks and improvements.

Up next: export audiobooks in MP3 and M4A formats, not only M4B.

This #AudioBo review is longer than some audiobooks I've converted.

But seriously – every frustration he describe is exactly why AudioBo exists. I was that person fighting ancient apps and arbitrary limits.

When your user's pain matches your pain 1:1... you know you built the right thing.

My tiny win for today: I finally figured out how to get rid of the default macOS dropdown menus and replace them with the style Apple uses in System Settings. It’s a small thing, but wow — it looks so much better!
